“After seeing bodies being thrown into the truck, I felt I was going to die there. I’m yet to process what I lived through in the past three days. I don’t know what I feel but one thing I know is the truth has to be told. While we were there, Wednesday morning trying to sort out care for people, more people arrived in the hospital with gunshot wounds.

There was a teenage boy who couldn’t be more than 13. A child. I was very young when I started hearing in Nigeria that the youths are the leaders of tomorrow, but it seems that tomorrow never comes. At this point, it’s about respecting the sacrifices of those who’ve gone, and trying to find a way so we don’t lose any more lives”.

Woman finds love 7 years after losing husband, marries childhood admirer

A Nigerian widow, has found love again as she walks down the aisle with her childhood admirer.

The woman identified as Sarah has now married her childhood crush, Chijioke, seven years after loosing her first husband.

According to Bellanaija Weddings, who shared the exceptional love story on Instagram, a young Sarah didn’t reciprocate Chijioke’s love, because she loved someone else, who she later got married to.

However as fate would have it, chijoke and Sarah met again in 2019, years after staying single following the demise of her husband.

In January 2020, she got a message from someone who identified himself as Jeffrey, asking if they could date each other, but she abruptly turned down the proposal.

Sarah later discovered that Jeffrey was Chijioke, so she reached out via phone call and apologized for her reaction.

She noted that his peaceful nature got through to her and that led them to become friends and later walked down the aisle.

In her words,

“Chijioke had an eye for me when we were younger but I didn’t as I was in love with someone else. As life would have it, he saw me again in December, 2019- 7 years a widow with a mind made up on remaining single.

“In January 2020, I got a message from someone called
Jeffrey, he started by apologising for the approach and then he went on to say he had tried to answer so many questions ever since he saw me again at Calabar. He wondered/ thought about the possibility of walking into my life ?.

“I was paranoid to start with and gave him a piece of my mind for even thinking about the possibility of a relationship with me and then I asked if he didn’t see the rings on my finger, my response caught him off guard I guess, he apologised again and ran away (lol). At the time I didn’t know who it was. I looked at our list of mutual friends and asked a very close friend of mine who turned out to be Jeffrey’s’ cousin. For some reason, I felt bad and apologised about my reaction, gave him my number and asked if we could just chat, he declined because to him it won’t be ok to just chat with me.

“Somehow his peaceful nature got through to me and here we are today.”

“It’s not by having a young person there, but a competent one” – DJ Switch slams Desmond Elliot

Popular Nigerian Disc Jockey, DJ Switch has joined several other Nigerians to slam actor cum politician, Desmond Elliot, over his comments on Nigerian youths and the use of social media.

DJ Switch has faulted Desmond for calling the Nigerian youths “children”, adding that he has proven that having young persons in power, may not bring desired change.

According to her, Desmond calling youths, influencers and celebrities children is annoying.

“Desmond Elliot calling us children is very annoying.

“He his angry at the celebrities and influencers because they have a voice?

“He is not even angry about the Lekki Massacre. He has proven to us that it not by having a young person there but a competent one.”

I did not burn down any police station. I only stole two crates of Trophy drinks and a generator – Suspected arsonist confesses (photos)

A suspected arsonist, Taoreed Hamzat, 26, who was apprehended for allegedly participating in the burning of Iseyin Police station, has denied the allegation, saying he only carted away two crates of trophy beers and a small generating set during the vandalization of the police station.

Some hoodlums who hijacked the #EndSARS protest that started on October 8, went on a rampage last week Wednesday October 21, destroying private and public infrastructures.

The hoodlums set several police stations ablaze across the country — one of which was the Iseyin police station in Oyo state.

The state police command arrested some of the suspected arsonists and looters and paraded.

When he spoke to newsmen during the parading, Taoreed also known as Shorlex, said,

I joined the other protesters who are mostly my area boys, I saw them looting the station and I also joined and I was fortunate to have carried only two creates of trophy lager beer, and I didn’t even take them to my house. I dropped them right in front of the station and it was shared within us we drank them and shattered the bottles.

I met this small generating set at the entrance of the station, the youths are about to burn it alongside with the Police station, so I carried it to my house, though, I later returned it to the mosque the following day, when our King ordered us to return all the looted items in our possessions back to either Mosque or Palace.

I did not steal this wall clock from the police station, I picked it at entrance of the mosque after have dropped the generator so its not part of the items I looted from the station. Taoreed said

The state commissioner of police, CP. Joe Nwachukwu Enwonwu, confirmed that at least six policemen were gruesomely murdered during the aftermath of the end SARS protests. He also noted that the police cannot ascertain the numbers of the Police officers lost to the sad incident. CP Nwachukwu said some of the hoodlums went as far as going to the houses of those officers purposely to kill them.

67-year-old man rescued after he jumped into Kwara river

A 67-year-old man has been rescued after jumping into Asa River on Abdulwahab Folawiyo, Unity Road, Ilorin, Kwara State.

Abraham Olayinka jumped into the river at about 11:30am on Monday, October 26, according to Punch.

Traders within the vicinity, who saw him jump into the river, reportedly drew the attention of security men around the area to the incident.

A commercial motorcyclist, Mohammad Abubakar, in response to the call for help, jumped into the river together with some fishermen and they succeeded in rescuing Olayinka.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the Kwara State Fire Service, Hassan Adekunle, who said the victim was rescued before firemen arrived at the scene, said Olayinka was unstable when he was first brought out from the water.

He, however, said the man was revived and taken to a hospital where he was stabilised.

Adekunle said the victim refused to state the reason for attempting suicide despite the pressure mounted on him by the fire service.

Punch gathered from some residents that Olayinka recently lamented about losing N30,000 to some thieves and that the money belonged to a friend.

The commercial motorcyclist who rescued him, Abubakar, said, “I was riding along this area when I saw people gathering around the river bridge. I decided to stop to see what was actually going on, and I was told the old man jumped into the river and there was nobody to help him.

“When I discovered that the old man was still breathing, I waited for a moment to get police permission to rescue him and I immediately jumped into the river.”

“Currently I’m living with my brother because my office is close to his place. If I move out and marry, how do I start a family with 45K and get my own place. My GF does not have a job. She wants to start make up business.

“Should I marry her or break up because she said she can not enter 2021 single. I am under so much pressure. I am losing weight currently. I don’t even know how I will pay her bride price if I agree.”

Looters are not really hungry, they’re greedy – Femi Adesina (Video)

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, says hoodlums who have been looting warehouses and shops were not necessarily hungry but greedy.

Adesina disclosed on a Channels TV programme, Sunrise Daily, insisting that the looting spree which occurred in the aftermath of #EndSARS protest was propelled by greed and criminality and not really poverty.

“I wouldn’t agree completely with that (that the looters are hungry) because criminality is criminality, would you justify armed robbery because the man was poor?

“Just as you can’t justify armed robbery because a man was poor and then he took a gun to rob another person. You can’t also justify the lootings that are going on. It is pure criminality.

“It is not everybody engaged in that looting that is hungry, that is the truth. It is pure greed and criminality,” he said.
